Jim Van Dore I'd probably call the framing sequence a story, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone changed it. 2011-06-30 12:51:04 Under Review Approved
Mark Q I won't mind. It's just unlike the usual framing sequences and so hard to categorise. Maybe "story" and "editorial" as a genre. There were several editorial comics in the 80s. Al Milgrom's introductions in Marvel Fanfare, and Archie Goodwin's in some Epic comics. But that genre is not listed. 2011-06-30 18:26:36 Approved Approved
